I also was wondering who this mystery drive and machine belonged to. Who every he is, he should be listed by number on the racing sheets on the front page. If only i knew the number of the machine.

Does anybody know who the pilot of this Attex is next to me? I've not seen them before. A girl raced it in the PP race as well. It's got a GXXB in it.... Not sure what size.

Brian, is that what was in your ST/400?! OMG, that's the worst I've ever seen. It reminds of a high school science experiment showing the different densities of liquids. Do you think that 440 Cuyuna is ready to rip now? You're going to love that engine!

Special Racing Fuel

here is a shot of the fuel i was trying to get my machine to run on. as you can imagine, the pickup at the bottom of the tank was pulling nothing but water. it's a wonder we could make it run at all. i still haven't pulled the filter apart, but i'm guessing that you could probably drink it's contence... not that i'm gonna try. the fuel might be closer to 30% water upon closer inspection, but still way too much to run on.

sorry, i forgot to rotate the pic before i attached it. tilt your head left for optimal viewing

very odd... i tried it on both computers (win 7 and XP) and neither worked. switched from firefox to internet explorer and it comes up just fine... all the others work in firefox

We had an issue with the pictures. GeoJem posted them all up, and the computer locked up during processing, so she cancelled and reuploaded them all, but they posted both times. Admin Mike went back in to delete the duplicates (such a good housekeeper!) but when he deleted them, even the originals were deleted since they had the same file name. We'll get them uploaded again ASAP.

c'mon Jem, don't let me down...

Hi All!
WOW! WOW! WOW! What a wonderful and dirty weekend! It was awesome to meet so many people and put a face with their screen name. The racing was great, but the trail rides are my favorite! Thanks to all of you guys that let Becky and me tag along!
A special thank you to George who let me play with his lens. Now I know what I want Santa to bring me for Christmas!!

I've added an album of "Ashtabula Air Buds and Almosts". Here's the link:

Wow Brian, didi I read correctly that your can was almost 1/2 water? As in pour the gas off the top and the rest is water? That's bizarre. Recently I serviced two lawn mowers, they ran fine when done, but they later complained the wouldn't start after a hot shut down. Well, turns out they had lots of water in the fuel system. Further interogation revealed they left their gas can outside all year with a faulty seal I'm beginning to think nothing gets more abuse and less attention than some lawn mowers.

I was able to get to them no problem. I'd try again. I'm glad you said something about the links at the beginning. I have been reading the thread all along and never noticed Mike compiled everything at the beginning.
Thanks for that Mike. I like the format.

on another note, I just did a simple seperation test and found that the 93 octane fuel that i bought for the racer at the Circle K in Ashtabula was around 40% water! that's the fuel i dumped in after i ran my practice laps. can't wait to pull the filter and see how bad it looks! once i get the fuel system cleaned out and see if the 400 will run as it did before i left, i'll probably throw the 440 back in (with turbulator) and see if that one will run. fuel was the one thing i did not suspect as i had just gotten it from the pump that morning!
otherwise the machines are cleaned, serviced and ready to go get muddy again. once Beth and I get the camping gear cleaned and preped for the next adventure, i can get back to work on the family truckster!

i looked over the pics from the weekend, and we have quite a few great air bud shots (time to start a second wall Whipper) and some great candid shots. We will try to sit down this evening and get some of them resized and posted. Until i can get them all posted I will leave you with this
